That's really, how do I, how do I look?

0:03.1

Cool, silence.

0:04.3

All right.

0:06.1

Does anybody, you have 19 people on set and everyone's like, I don't want to tell them it looks like shit?

0:11.7

Yeah, see, there we go.

0:15.7

Look at this.

0:17.7

Yes, dude.

0:19.0

Is that better?

0:19.9

See, now this is the problem.

0:57.2

Now that you've asked for feedback, all that you've got is like neuroticism and judgment. Okay, yeah. And can you write some better jokes? I'm like, who's up on my outfit? Trevor Wallace, welcome the show. Hey, thanks for having me, Chris. Vogue published an article saying having a boyfriend is embarrassing now. I don't have one. I figured. Meanwhile, men are on dating apps saying that they're looking for a slightly autistic woman. Swaths of men saying they want a girl with a touch of the tism. Okay, I just want the touch. I don't even care about the tism. You know what I mean? Like, whatever they bring to the table, I'm, well, I, you know what it is? Autistic women, like, from my experience,

0:59.3

they're just passionate.

1:03.7

They're just like, I just, that's all I've ever wanted dating somebody is somebody who's passionate about something, whether it's a career or, or, you know, trains.

Well, you were saying that about hot girls that are just good at anything,

1:19.9

chess or DJing or crochet stitching or something,

1:23.4

that that is a niche.

1:25.7

Yeah.

1:26.2

That, and you're right as well.

I think we like anybody that really loves. I just want you to love something. Yeah. I don't care what your career is. Just love it. Can that be you? Can there something be you? What if you are their hobby? A part of it, sure. A part of it, sure. But like, I've been in relationships where somebody didn't have that,

1:45.8

that void they wanted to fill of, like, love. And you almost feel guilty if you're too passionate. I would come home from, like, a show or filming something. And I had so much fun on this set or films. And I love it. And then they're like, oh, that's nice. And you're like, here we go again. I mean, can we get her a Zinn or something? Like, perk up, Sean. Like, what are we? So you almost feel guilty.

2:03.7

So, like, I we go again. I mean, can we get her a Zinn or something? Like,

2:01.0

perk up. So you almost feel guilty. So like, I just want to come home and share a communal experience where you're like, how was your day? Oh, I love that I got to do blah, blah, blah, blah. I love that I get to do this. So I've found that just incredible where you can just both share and not feel this weird one-sided guilt.
